Clients
Some of these configurations are now quite obsolete since it's hard to find the commercial version of PGP 7, it doesn't work with Windows XP and it's not possible to create host to network tunnels. I've still included it here for reference where creating tunnels for other systems.
The Greenbow VPN
With the recent absense of available VPN clients that are not tied to specific servers, The Greenbow VPN client is a very welcome addition. This the IPsec client I'm recommending at the moment and The Greenbow has very generously offered to support us so please use "Allard" as referrer code when ordering your copies.
Examples:
PGPnet
PGP versions between 6.5 and 7.11 comes with a working IPsec implementation and they work with Windows versions from Windows 95 to Windows 2000. The IPsec implementation disappeared in version 8 when Network Associates sold PGP to PGP inc and kept the IPsec code for inclusion in the BorderWare client so most likely this client will work as well (can anyone verify this?).
The Freeware version of PGP 7.0.3 can still be downloaded from www.pgpi.com. PGP is also the only know client to work with Macintosh OS 9 and earlier.
Examples:
- PGP 7.0 freeware pre-shared secrets
- PGP 7.0 Commercial pre-shared secrets
- PGP 7.1 with Aggressive mode authentication and Virtual ID
- PGP 7.1 with Virtual Identities and x509 certificate authentication
Safenet SoftRemote
Safenet SoftRemote was the first client working for Windows 2000. I've always had great success with the SoftRemote client (used to be called Soft-Pk).
Examples:
SSH Sentinel
SSH Sentinel is also a very good client for use with Windows 2000 and XP and one of the mostly used clients today. It's very configurable and can probably be made to run in most cases.
Unfortunately, SSH Communications has sold it's Sentinel to SafeNet, see this article. Does anyone has any update on availability on the SSH Sentinel after this, please email me.
Examples:
- Ssh Sentinel with x509 Authentication (contributed by Johan Hedin )
